Testimonials

Why hire a professional when there are offers of FREE look - ups all over the Internet? There are many good reasons that come to mind. The most common are: frustration, geographic limitations, and time constraints. Having searched every document within your means, and having placed messages on every site you could find for your SURNAMES, your patience is waning after weeks (months - years) of no responses.

Listen to what some of Golden Rule Genealogy's clients have to say:

I am so thrilled with the Coats cemetery photos. Thank you for your great work and will gladly recommend your work as A#1. I will be looking forward to receiving your envelope of documents in the mail. Janet, in South Sioux City NE

I rec'd the obituary information and your letter today...thank you very much for your very thorough work. Thank you for your absolutely wonderful service! I've dealt with many professional genealogists over the years and am a professional in the field myself. Your research has been so helpful and well done. If I have other research needs in Wisconsin, I'll be sure to contact you. Mary S in Minnesota, January 2004

Again, thank you so much! You have helped me so much, and your willingness to go the second mile has been so wonderful! You are more than worth every penny! Genealogists need one of you in every county in the US! Michele H in Oregon, WA April 2004

Your well earned money is in the mail with a little extra for all you have done for free. You are an amazing researcher even when faced with such an unlikely story & I could give you so few clues, yet you found just what I needed. Paul in Ontario, Canada December 2003

Thank you for your hard work to find my family. You are a better researcher than many who are available and definitely more dedicated to finding the truth, and I'm so glad to have found you. (Debby in WA, Feb 2002)

Are you tired of the bits and pieces approach, and would appreciate the convenience of someone doing the legwork for you, and receiving an organized report of results? Do you need someone to help you sort out the facts from the fiction on the material you have gathered from look-ups, cd's and websites? Contact Joan who has the experience and tenacity to dig for the truth, to analyze the results and suggest the next places to look (Jackie C, Vermont, March 2002, from a mailing list)

I just want to thank you again for your research on my family. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism of your report. I've never gone this route before, so I didn't know what to expect, but you provided far more than I anticipated. Naturally I was disappointed with the findings, but I had this research on my retirement "to do" list in 5 years. What a disappointing trip that would have been! Plus I would not have thought to check the library, research center, or newspapers. So again thanks. It was a pleasure working with you. (Shirley in CA, April 2002)

Having wasted hundreds of hours of research in Wood County WI, I turned to Joan. In a matter of days, she quickly found the missing people, in Adams and Juneau Counties. What a joy! Since our initial encounter, Joan has provided hundreds of FREE hours to the USGenWeb WIGenWeb sites, which has not gone unnoticed. And donates FREE time at the LDS library and Stevens Point Area Research Center - Archives. She is honest, sincere, and has FAIR, and REASONABLE rates. What would we do without her? (MAK in CA, May 2002)

This is the second time I have hired Joan to do research and there is more coming. She is very professional, friendly and thorough. The cost is very fair for the work she does. She also "steers" me in the right direction when I hit a brick wall. Keep up the good work. (Doris in Florida, Feb 2003)
